Discord

A completely free cross-platform voice messenger and text chat designed specifically for gamers. This application is ideal for gaming enthusiasts as it uses minimal system resources and does not affect FPS. Key features include the ability to create as many servers as you want. Encrypted servers hide your real IP address from prying eyes and protect against DDoS attacks. The backend, written in Erlang, operates on a cloud platform with built-in DDoS protection. Users can share images, videos, and links from their PC or phone. Discord integrates most media players directly into the chat, and GIF animations activate only on hover to reduce CPU load. The voice chat runs without slowing down games, ensuring minimal impact on system performance. Installation is quick and simple, taking just 10 seconds without requiring drivers or complex settings, and the app can even run in a browser. Server management is intuitive, offering diverse access rights, multiple channels, and an easy-to-use interface suitable for small groups or large guilds. The application delivers high-quality voice transmission using modern jitter buffers, automatic gain control, noise and echo suppression, and system sound attenuation on Windows. Users can add friends and send private messages outside of servers, customize the overlay, and enjoy many other features.
